Solar Roadways / Brusaws

Prototype of a modular heavy duty paving system, that generates electricity by collecting solar power with photovoltaics, an alternative to conventional asphalt motorways, invented by Idaho based engineer Scott and his wife Julie Brusawof Solar Roadways

Apart from energy collection, the Solar Roadways could have a number of additional benefits, like on-the-go charging for electric cars, LED lighting to show signs and lines and heating to melt ice and snow.
